Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Romantic Days in the Early Republic All the visitors to America, during and just after the Revolution, wrote with enthusiasm, upon their return home, of the hospitality which they here enjoyed and of the beautiful women who administered it. Boston, New York, Philadelphia and the Southern cities each cherishes fondly - so far as its own traditions go - the memory of that gracious era and of those identified with it. But how little Bostonians know of early New York, how dense is the ignorance of Philadelphians concerning the traditions of New Orleans! Yet would it not add materially to our rich heritage as Americans, if the local history and noble heroes of other cities than our own evoked our keen enthusiasm? The author, however, who sets out, in a single book, to promote this admirable end is confronted at once with a very great difficulty; that of selection. For no Philadelphian wants to read details about early Baltimore - however admirable he might find in any book exhaustive treatment of his own dear city.
